Abstract
The virtual decals for precision alignment of motion graphics of the present invention provides a method by which a person using a mobile video capturing device may apply a special effect or motion graphic to the video being captured using a virtual decal present on the screen of the mobile device, providing a reference to the user allowing the user to compensate for camera movement and properly frame the video to which the motion graphic will be applied using post-processing. The present invention further provides a method for measuring the optic flow of a given video scene and applying that data in a predictive manner so as to stabilize a motion graphic against the scene. Post processing places such a motion graphic within the processed video in such a way that it appears to be part of the original scene.
